Add to ORKGHealthcare systems are a critical part of society. Yet, sadly, the vast amounts of energy, water, and physical supplies used in medicine contribute to human disease and planetary degradation. US healthcare is responsible for 10% of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions and 9% of air pollutants, but the sector is beginning to adopt more environmental sustainable practices. This lecture will explore current Life Cycle Assessment based research to quantify emissions and increase efficiency in clinical care. We will discuss model health systems and the challenges of implementing sustainability in this unique field
